After Action Report
The Heat fended off the Nets 117-110. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Heat cashed in. The Heat came in with something to prove after a loss; Heat's veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Whispers of a Nets locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Nets utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Nets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Heat · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
